We need to talk about this. The other day as I was casually scrolling through the internets, I came upon pictures I did not think I’d ever be subjected to outside of a porno magazine. And, my innocence was stolen. What I saw (and have since discovered is being worn by more than just one, lone, crazed individual) is something […]

I don’t go out much, but when I do it’s to Bed, Bath and Beyond to buy a coffee bean grinder to replace the temperamental one that’s been on the fritz for the past year but can intermittently be made to work if you’re persistent enough until, of course, the day of its inevitable death comes, and then you can’t […]

Four hours in with us no closer to victory, that was the thought running through my head. How does Turtle Man* do it? I couldn’t even do it, and I was trying to capture a domesticated house cat. (*Side note for those clearly not watching enough TV: Turtle Man is featured on the reality show “Call of the Wild Man” for […]

Photo credit Day 9: I don’t have long now. I am very weak. I fear by the time you receive this I might be gone. The outcome of summer lock-down with my kids is unclear, but I want you to know I held out for as long as I could. I waited. Every day I waited, scanning the horizon for re-enforcements. […]

I was on vacation last week and off the internets for five glorious days. I gotta say it was pretty nice. The weather was perfect, the ocean crystalline, the waves phenomenal. And I’m a little sad now just thinking about it. So I haven’t been bringing my A game to the blogosphere, but we all need […]

So my husband left work early (get the full story here ), and we raced over to meet our realtor (I called her Patty last time, but I’m changing her name to Liz). It was 1:30. By 2:00 we finished the tour. Liz needed an answer by 4:00. The sellers were entertaining the other offer that night […]

I sunk deeper into despair over the course of the days following the meeting with the contractor. As I contemplated the disaster my future held, I wondered how we would possibly live through it. It was clear Vinny (the contractor) had to destroy our house in order to improve it. Basically, we were shelling out […]

I posted about co-ed naked yoga on Facebook when I discovered this was an actually thing. But I quickly realized a mere Facebook status update was not enough. I have more, much more, to say on this topic. My thought process went like this: Who the hell does this? And then: Who does it and finds other people willing to […]

Last week or the week before – who can remember? – I brought you words that should never, under any circumstance be words. But I’m no radical extremist. I can appreciate a new word or portmanteau (come back next week to find out what portmanteau is) every now and then. If it’s a good one, […]

If you missed my first tweet of the New Year, I’ll let it slide this time. I understand. You were hungover. Some of us were busy tweeting. Because we have no life. Anyway, just so we’re all up to date, here it is. Just had 1st fight of the new year w/ the husband! 2014 is […]
